Trump believes the best hope for his party to win, or at least not lose too badly in the midterms, is stripping Americans of their right to vote. He's afraid of the outcome if the GOP has to run on his record. Read my piece about what's happening this week: joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-tru...

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go.
It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Since 1979, productivity has grown 86% in America, but the typical worker’s pay has only grown 32%.
It doesn't have to be this way. Lawmakers must chart a different policy course to ensure that workers share in the fruits that their labor produces like they did in the past.
